Deshaun Trombone is charged with child endangerment causing death, neglect of a dependent person, possession of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver imitation substance, manufacturing cocaine, no drug tax stamp and 16 counts of violation of a no contact order and being a felon in possession of a weapon.

Trombone is charged in the death of 5-year-old Jayda Canada. Rescue crews found her unresponsive in her mother's apartment. Police said Trombone is the girl's mother's boyfriend.

Police said the girl died from a drug overdose of morphine.

Just after 8:30 a.m., officers went to a home on Cleveland Avenue after receiving information that Trombone was hiding out there. The home was searched but Trombone wasn't there.

Police said another child, a 1-year-old who is Trombone's daughter, was also in the home at the time of Jayda's death and was exposed to the drugs too.

"We don't believe it was given to her (Jayda) intentionally, but she had access to this. It was within reach of her, probably took it on her own not knowing what it was," said police spokesman Sgt. Jason Halifax.

Police said a variety and quantity of drugs were in drawers, on counters, within the child's reach. A police report shows marijuana, cocaine, morphine and 81 ecstasy tablets were found along with counterfeit cash and a holster with ammunition.

Jayda's mother, Tionne Bloodsaw, also faces multiple charges in the case. She made her initial appearance in court Friday morning.

Her bond is set at $63,000. A prelimbinary hearing was set for Nov. 24 at 8 a.m.
